International oncology art exhibit makes a stop at the Womancare Center

Hermitage, PA — Lilly Oncology on CanvasSM, an art exhibition honoring the journeys traveled by millions of people affected by cancer worldwide, is now on display at the Womancare Center of UPMC Horizon, 875 N. Hermitage Road, Hermitage. In honor of the occasion, the Womancare Center will host a public reception on Friday, Aug. 3, from noon to 4 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Lilly Oncology on Canvas began in 2004 as an international art competition for those whose lives had been touched by women’s cancers, including those diagnosed with cancer, their family and friends, and healthcare providers. People were invited to use art, a powerful emotional outlet, as a means of expressing the struggles and successes in battling this disease.

The original competition attracted more than 400 submissions from 23 countries. To date, it has traveled to hundreds of cities on four continents and has been seen and read about in 16 languages.

In addition to the Lilly Oncology on Canvas exhibit, the Womancare Center will display the artwork of two UPMC Horizon oncology patients.
